Christie Brinkley Divorce: Peter Cook Calls Her Breakdown On TV ‘Cunning And Shameless’

Following Christie Brinkley’s emotional outburst Tuesday on the ‘Today’ show, Peter Cook has responded by blasting her tears as a “cunning and shameless display in what I can only imagine was an attempt to garner public sympathy by dishonest means.

In an interview on NBC with Matt Lauer, the ‘Chicago’ actress was brought to tears when asked about her divorce from Cook. The divorce was finalized in 2008 with an agreement not to speak publicly about the issue from both parties for the sake of their children.

However Cook did not honor this agreement. In a recent interview with ABC, Cook accused Brinkley of throwing her family “under the bus” in an effort to gain more publicity for her stint on Broadway.

“She can use her celebrity to get the media to say ‘He’s a bad guy.’ You know … I’m not trying to sell tickets to anything. I don’t want this press. I’m not interested in it. And there’s got to be a better way for her to do it. Go do a charitable act or something, get your name in the paper. But stop throwing your family under the bus,” said Cook to ABC.
